Hopefully the start of MS pulling its finger out
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/default.mspx
thanks nice find
Finger scrolling is still a bit messed up though... and it's slow to update
I still find the mobile site (m.facebook.com) to be far more useful!
Just noticed something that could be a problem for some users:
While the application is running, even minimised, it uses the internet to update itself. I just noticed this as I was using the application over a wireless connection earlier this morning, then minimised it and put my phone on stand-by. I've just turned it back on to find that it had connected through my data connection (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA etc) while my phone was off.
So just a warning - it helps itself to an internet connection while it is running

I have notice the same "behavior"
i cant seem to get it to log in!!
I'm using Dutty's XT V3.0 and under the Phone>Option>Data, there is an option to disable data connection when device enters sleep mode.
Not sure if other ROMs are having the same option..

Im getting the same issue. Uninstalled the Ather cab and installed 1.0.0.7 then restarted when prompted. The app loads without issue however I also cannot login.
Device seems to crash and then is incredibly sluggish from there (even after killing the app)
Anyone else seen this on the touch HD and know if there is a fix?
I've been trying this for a few days....and to be honest...I can't see the point of it. I left it running in the hope that it would update itself and alert me of new messages etc..but it doesn't. Even if I exit and restart the app, I still have to tell it to refresh by clicking the refresh button.
using the facebook site via IE or opera is still much better and quicker.
i have thought the same - m.facebook.com is easy and works.
One of the key things it misses as well is the lack of profile photo changes
If they can get this sorted, auto updates etc then it may be worth using but for the moment its gone.
Seems a bit pointless. The only plus side that I can see is being able to upload photos and videos.
There are problems reading comments left on your status... or at least I cant see an obvious way to read them.
The webpage is just so much cleaner.
For thos who can't login...
I have updated my Stock ROM 1.14 to stock 1.56 and now Facebook Official works (previous versions worked on previous ROM).
I haven't noticed major bugs - only scrolling as was mentioned here is ery slow and refresh times....

Sopis - Im running 1.56.405.1 WWE and this still gives me the same login error message....
I too had Facebook-Ather (0.16) installed, i uninstalled it and installed the microsoft facebook cab 1.0.0.7... i get stuck at the login, after typing in my username/email and password, as soon as i press 'Login', the app pretty much stops responding. Then as someone said above, if i close the app the device is very laggy and responsiveness is almost non existant (and even if I manage to get myself to launch cleanRAM, the device is still poor.)
I suppose we need to wait for Service Pack 1 then? lol.

The best mobile site to use is iphone.facebook.com
Much smoother interface (and you dont need an iphone to use it).

Just tried to install Facebook 1.0.0.7 on my Kaiser and loads without an issue.
Really confused why the HD has so many issues with it!

Thanks I do switch back and forth sometimes but I prefer the regular one... the iPhone one just seems less "practical" in the sense that all these status updates and things are like pop-ups... The thing with me is, once I'm used to something, I'm a difficult one to change
sometimes with no actual reason when i start up IGO8 i get this message , ANY SOLUTION?
i have searched many threads but with no luck every thread says to disabled the TF3D or soft reset or clean ram utility (all solutions are a waste of time) , i am searching for a diffrent solution ...
You have to disable push internet and go through the steps to clean out as much of the redundant services as possible. That will fix the problem and make it run better. If you don't do this you have to reboot every time you want to use iGo.
There are a number of HTC default services that don't need to be running. You'll have to search sorry I forgot all of them
the message apears even though the push internet is off , which services do u refer to?

What he's saying is iGO is a pig and needs hoards of ram to run. On my Kaiser I've found that iGO will generally run at will but will crash later unless there is lots of free ram and not much stuff running. It's a very nice nav program and display, but it's just not robust.
//ok thank
igo8=ram eating program=no solution;
I had the same issue with my unbranded TP2, very annoying.
I seemed to have fixed it by merely disabling Push Internet - didn't use it anyway. Since then, no more virtual address errors, no reboots needed.
Mind you, i do prefer IGO as the favoured GPS app, it is well thought out and simple to use....
If that fails, try TomTom, works well on TP2, as does Garmin.
Hope this is helpful.
I asked this elsewhere, but does the TP2 have the same annoying lag as the TouchPro with TT or iGO8? Where it'll place you about 5 seconds behind where you actually are.
Also, does it display full screen or because of the high resolution screen, it doesn't display full screen?
Is anyone else having this issue yet? I have asked this on the rom development page and it seems that I may be the only one experincing this.
I have NRG's 10\28 rom loaded and I have removed many of my installed programs and I can not get the Office programs to load quickly. I have Nrg's rom 10\17 or so loaded on my wife's phone but hers doesnt seem to be doing this.
I am suspecting that it is something that I am installing that is doing this but I am not sure.
I have even downloaded the office 2010 beta today and it stil does it.
It does stop doing it for about a half a day if I reboot many times till it behaves, but then after about a half a day, it is back to taking more than 60 seconds to open word or excell, then about 20 ot 25 seconds to close it.
Any ideas??
Thank you all for looking at this.
Jeff
Takes no more than a few seconds max on my Tilt 2, I don't know man.
Same porb here, i dont think its a ROM issue as it did the same thing on most of the roms i flash. i just thought i was a WM thingi, and the worst part is it takes near 10 sec to open a NEW word doc..

Finally, someone else is also having this issue.
I have a slightly older version of the Energy rom on my wife's phone and hers is always fast to open.
I have been uninstalling programs one by one to see if one of them is affecting it.
What I have found is that as I install a couple, it will start working good, then a a few hours later, it goes to 1 min to open again.
And I am not even opening a file, just click on the excell icon, so that eliminates the bad file thing.
I will let you know what I find.
So do you have many apps installed? I have a lot, to many to mention here at this time, but if you only have a few, please list them and I will see if there are any in common between us.
Thanks,
Jeff
I had this problem on my AT&T Tilt 1 a long time ago. I was able to isolate the cause of the problem to sending/receiving Email over mobile data (wouldn't happen if the update was via wifi). Unfortunately the only thing that solved my problem was a hard reset .

interesting you mentioned wifi, i just observed today that it does not take a long time to open when i am on wifi, then i switched to no wifi, and it was taking lont time to open excel.
turned wifi back on and sure enough, excell opened quickly.
i then turnrd off my wifi network plugin, (disabled my map network drive) and now it seems to be opening excell just fine reguardless of wifi or not.
i will continue to test this ane report back.

Office Mobile looks for any files of the appropriate type (e.g., *.doc files for Word) on your device to open prior to loading. Before reading this last comment I was going to suggest removing your storage card, but if you have network drives mapped it's probably attempting to reach those while loading but timing out if they're not available.

So as long as I dont have my "enable Network Folder" clicked on the HTC's Network Plugin, it all works good. As soon as I click that, and enable the network folder, then it takes forever to open office unless I have the wifi turned on.
Man I have been fighting this for months, not sure if it was a rom thing or something that I was intalling.
I hope that others who have this issue can find this post and fix thier stuff too.
Here some searchable key words, pleae add if I am missing:

Sky have finally pulled their finger out and written a dedicated windows 6.* application to allow people to use remote record (you need to register with sky for this)
Have tested it on my Touch HD running KWBR's vanilla rhodium 6.5 based rom and it all works fine
Yippie, at last!!!
hi, would you gently post the link to the page on sky's site containing this app? i'd need to have more info about it but i honestly cannot find it myself :\

Here is the link from the sky pages.
The link on the site (http://p.wecomm.com/sky) goes to all of the different versions that you can get and I just uploaded the Touch HD one for everyone yesterday.
Have confirmed it as all working fine yesterday and have successfully set remote record for 2 programs without any issue (as I had an existing username/password for remote record when i used to use the java app on my N95)
Spudgun
thank you mate... as i suspected it wont work for me though
What problem are you having?
Have you used remote record before and have it linked to your Sky+ system at home?
It not, there is a really good guide to this on digitalspy
Spudgun
Other than the popup keyboard when trying to sign in, I would say on initial looks this is pretty sweet! We've been waiting for a dedicated app for a long time and I for one am happy I no longer need to use the web browser to view the tv guide.
So far so good, +1 for the happy user list.
The keyboard is a bit crap isn't it and it kind of gets in the way when entering your username/password, but after that it isn't an issue at all.
Thanks for posting this - it's exactly what I've been waiting for too.
I've set a couple of things to Record, so now I need to check on my Sky+ Box at home to make sure it's all going through.
Thanks again.
This looks very handy but the app doesn't seem to close on mine when I try to exit.

I had that issue one time last night, and had to close it via the task manager. I'm willing to put up with that for the convenience that this app brings though!
Just got the Christmas Radio Times today, so i am sure i will be using this app loads over the festive period when I am away from home.

Yep, same for me but I can minimise it and close via task manager. All the recordings I set worked a treat and for me this is a definate keeper!
Thanks to the OP for the heads up!
Do you need your phone line plugged in to use this?
TIA
Joel
Yeah I have to do the same stuff to close the app - minor annoyance I guess.
What's more weird though is that I tried it yesterday before I'd registered the online userid etc and I was able to see the EPG. So far so good.
Now that I've registered an account and linked it to my actual Sky subscription etc, the EPG doesn't work.
I get the main menu, EG Entertainment/Documentaries/Kids/Movies etc but no matter which I select, the next screen is blank and no epg content is shown.
Any ideas?
Good question about the phone line thing too - would like to know that myself - could it be related to the above problem?

No you don't need the phoneline plugged in. I've never had the phoneline plugged in for my Sky+ and this app works just fine.
I may try out one of the java based versions later on though, to see if the exit bug is fixed on that one

The phone line on your Sky+ Box does not need to be plugged in for this to work.
I had the same problem with an empty EPG when I changed my Region to SouthEast (Sky+ Options within the App) - I set it back to London and it worked fine.
Thanks for the tip - changed to London again and sure enough the epg works again.
Can't record though still. I got an error saying my profile isn't allowed to record so I googled it and found it's because I'm not the 'primary' account holder (my wife is), so I tried it by activating it with her details and I still get the same error even though I'm logging in with her details and it accepts the login and has been confirmed as activated.
Grrr, and WTF?

I changed my entry to "London and South East" and it worked fine - I think it's a case of finding the right one for your area.
As for the Recording, so need to make sure your Sky+ Box has the Account Registered and that you have Registered for Remote Record.
It's all here : http://mysky.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/mysky/remoterecord
Not saving password
Hi,
I have got this app up and running and have entered my user id and password and am then able to access the epg and record programs.
However, if i exit the app and then restart it, it does not remember my password and I have to re-enter it - a bit of a pain to do this each time.
I did hit the Save button after entering the password.
Is anyone else having this problem.
Cheers.
i down loaded the project android rebuild installed the cab file to the cars and installed to card. then their was a net file error so i downloaded the one they suggested from their site. no i saw some one say it requires rode400 as the phone of choice it will start up in. in advanced settings i have n America dial cdma and over clock as 768. seems like it load really fast then after about 3 mins it slows down to a stop..... did i do something wrong i mean others have loaded same program as me and their able to use the phone but i cant seem to get it to even load.... will it take up to 10mins to load? or should it lad pretty fast?
loaded it the dual boot the startup utility and the android project ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.112210 all from the project android site... did i go wrong somewere?
and also when ever i restart my phone for what ever reason will it always take better then 10 mins for it to boot into android?
10 mins should be about the max you'd need to wait for a boot time - if it's longer, you're in a bootloop... soft reset with the pin under the battery cover, or just pull the battery.
With that said, don't overclock and make sure you're completely updated.
well i went to bed and left it in boot mode woke up it was in android mode.. recieve calls and txt but no access to the internet so i couldnt even log into goggle or anything... and its taking forever to load. and dual boot isnt even working just gives me the option for windows mobile.... thank you
so saying i am gonna modify the start up log to what viper posted in another section see if that works..
see below...
well tried the boot up viper posted.. but it just takes for freakin ever..... any one know how to seed this up please?

Initial boot takes a while. If this is honestly stopping you, then don't use Android. It's not meant to replace WinMo at this stage, so if you're expecting it to.... you're going to be disappointed.
Just stick to WinMo.
i dont know what to expect every totorial and person is telling me it should take no more then 10 mins....
well i put in a new bigger card and re loaded the android files to it.. the first time loaded in about 6 mins or so second time booted to android about 1 min... seems so far all features work. but now its cutting out and restarting the phone usally happens as i access a program like push to talk that was downloaded form the market. Is their a flaw some were that i can find that does this?
are you running the latest kernel and rootfs? sometimes it takes me 2 or 3 reboots after a fresh install for xdandroid to be stable for me. if it doesnt straiten up after a couple of reboots then try doing a full format with this software 3dub.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml i believe its what many have suggested using (a correction is welcome). then reinstall xdandroid and update the kernel AND rootfs to the latest 3dub://sites.google.com/site/androidport/project-tracking (the 3dubs are www of course, wont let me link to outside site till i post a little more lol)
hay thank you.. coulpe of issues.. i am not recieveing picture messages and its dropping the internet(3g) connection wich makes me have to reboot to android.. not worried about wifi as i never use it. also their is no back light on the slide out board or the answer call buttons and such..... also i need caller id. i get number but nothing else not like cityid on the uscc network that tells me city and state..

mms has never worked for me, ive tried playing around with some apn settings i found but never got anything out of it except maybe a broken internet connection lol. i just have my wife email them to my gmail account which she can do through mms, she just types my email instead of my phone number... it works. i had the internet dropping out problem a couple of months back with one of the kernels then but havent had the problem since. the keyboard backlight and front key backlight hasnt been implimented yet, there is a workaround by making sure the lights are on when you boot android but then the backlights stay on the entire time. i have no idea how bad that effects battery life though. as far as caller id i assume your basically just talking about for numbers outside your contacts list lol. i know uscc has city id for android as it came preinstalled on my wifes acclaim. if you can get it on the market or internet i have no idea. hopefully somebody else knows of a nifty program available on the market that does basically the same thing and will chime in. in any event you might try the 20101124_215731 kernel it was very stable for me and could fix your internet problem. i would suggest deleting your data.img file in the andboot folder when you replace your kernel it can cause problems ;-) be warned though it will create a fresh data.img file on first boot (which is one reason first boot takes longer then the rest) and youll have to set everything up and redownload your market programs again.
thanks for the reply.. i did install the kernels you suggested and then for ****s and giggles i installed the wifi kernels too. for some reason it droped a call and rebooted then went to restart again and its taking for ever...i turned on over clocking so i am gonna turn that off. not even sure what its used for.. oh and the kernel you suggested in your last post do you have a link to it please? thanks
added the previous ximage files you sugested earlier but some reason it complety crashed it and had to start over.... so re loaded blazin added gen y dual boost and the .net i needed.... just starting all over again.. i hope it runs better this time around.... i guess the id feature isnt all that important but i hope at sometime soon they get the board light working again..
i did update like you said on the other page but i didnt reload i only replaced files... if i am gonna upate the zimage and such should i reload the program then update with the kernels and such then reboot?

This issue has been resolved in FRX03, by disabling JIT. Be careful of the build.prop files floating around the 3d testing thread, they re-enabled JIT - and that bug along with it.
